SOBIN, George Silver Crowns of France. A Study of the Silver Écus from Louis XIII to the Revolution and of the 5-Franc Coins from the Revolution to 1973. One hardcover volume in cloth binding with a faded dust jacket. Good condition. This book is the only study of its kind on the écus from 1610 to 1793 and on the 5-franc silver coins up to 1973. It is of great interest to collectors of this period. Each type is photographed, and the author also provides rarity ratings for these coins. George Sobin was an American numismatist who collected French coins; however, noting the scarcity of recent numismatic literature on the subject, he decided to undertake a study of all écus and 5-franc coins from 1641 to 1973. The auction of the section featuring royal écus took place on March 7 and 8, 1977, in Chicago, conducted by Joseph Lepczyk; it was the largest auction of écus ever held, featuring 1,336 coins.
